Intent
To support energy management practices and facilitate identification of ongoing opportunities for energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings by tracking and reporting building energy use and demand.
Requirements
Comply with the following requirements:
Energy Monitoring
- Have permanently installed energy meters or submeters that measure total building energy consumption for each energy source (electricity, on-site renewable electricity, natural gas, chilled water, steam, hot water, fuel oil, propane, etc.). Utility-owned meters capable of aggregating total project energy use by energy source are acceptable. Delivered fuels, such as propane, oil, diesel, or wood, must be tracked and reported by delivery date and amount if they are not metered or submetered.
- Calibrate meters within the manufacturer’s recommended interval if the project owner or management organization has oversight over the meter.
- Tenant meters may be excluded for up to 10% of the gross building area. When excluded, the associated area shall also be excluded to determine the intensity of energy use or GHG emissions.
Report Energy Data
Report monthly energy use data by energy source for the 12-month reporting period. Following certification, commit to ongoing reporting of monthly energy data on an annual basis.
What does it cost?
Cost estimates for this credit
On each BD+C v4 credit, LEEDuser offers the wisdom of a team of architects, engineers, cost estimators, and LEED experts with hundreds of LEED projects between then. They analyzed the sustainable design strategies associated with each LEED credit, but also to assign actual costs to those strategies.
Our tab contains overall cost guidance, notes on what “soft costs” to expect, and a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of what to consider and what it might cost, in percentage premiums, actual costs, or both.
This information is also available in a full PDF download in The Cost of LEED v4 report.
